kingreign: Thanks for this feedback but kindly shed more light as most car owners I know have been procuring & using the aforementioned(in white colored gallon) for a while without issues . Lastly, what brand & where do you advise toyota owners to buy 5w 30 fully synthetic engine oils especially within Lagos State ? CC: Kingreign |

mrsdaniel:Get your automotive oils and fluids and additives from reputable dealers. We have them here in nairaland search for the ones within your locale. I know Gazzuzz imports and sell, I also import and sell tho in smaller quantities. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by mrsdaniel: 4:33pm On Dec 31, 2020 |
kingreign: Okay i asked because we've most of us based in Lagos who easily drive down to same reputable automobile wholesale dealers at popular aspamda axis for purchase. I simply asked for names you use or sell since you said white gallon toyota 5w 30 fully synthetic oil is substandard , alongside basic price idea since you also market them |

mrsdaniel:Here is what I stated earlier pls, don't misquote me. kingreign: As for names and brands, I have stopped telling people brands cos what may work for A may not work for B due to lots of variance in car history and usage and purchasing power. |

searchng4love: Okay thanks.. If cost is relatively affordable ,no issues Meanwhile, I hope it's also generally available in open market,that's sole reason most seek for good alternatives after hearing the price of mobil 1 at fuel stations |

Dear all, compliments the season!!! Please my 2010 Camry makes this irritating noise when break my brakes are applied. Does it mean my break pads are due for changing? As regards the current performance of the brakes, they work perfectly fine. Please kindly help |

2003 honda accord delays to move when engaged in "D". Even when it finally moves it disengages on motion, i have to rev the car high before it picks up again, and it doesn't switch to gear 2. I have replaced gear oil & filter due to this, still no change. I cleaned out the "solenoid sensor" beside the gearbox and samething still happens. Anytime it delays in moving when i shift to D the green light near D starts blinking with check engine light. I scanned and it showed "shift solenoid A valve stuck open" sometimes it's "shift solenoid B valve stuck opened". It just dangles between both I met several gear mechanics,they tell me the gearbox is gone,i should go get another gearbox or rebuild the one on it, even without scanning. I personally don't feel it's true and from research i have been making, some people still experience such even after replacing the gearbox. Please anyone who had experienced this before and how did you get it resolved because car has been resting since before Christmas. |

tokunbo.
car is Honda Civic 07 |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by GAZZUZZ(m): 9:55am On Jan 02, 2021 |
replete: Kindly explain the steps used in the repair of your radiator. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by GAZZUZZ(m): 9:57am On Jan 02, 2021 |
flecho: The electricals of the civic 2006-12 are extremely fragile and worse when abused. As much as factory specs is good, be prepared to replace whole modules (fuse boxes also) if you want to PROPERLY revert to factory settings. If you are not ready to do it the right way, do not start. 1 Like |

GAZZUZZ:I really don't know but the mechanic removed it and sent his boy to take it to the repairer. I actually doubted it at first reason why am still running ordinary water in it but the reservoir level haven't dropped since then though I noticed it dropped from F to about the L mark the next morning but ever since it has remained at that level. Still observing till my next oil change to revert to coolant. |
